    This isn’t a product I am looking for but why is this an issue when other animal based products are being sold? Cow products fine but donkey products aren’t?

    I see there is a specific horse related law but why.

      I’m more concerned about this being touted as a health product, especial an “herbal” one. Because there’s no evidence that it improves health and donkey skin isn’t an herb.

      But really I just posted it because I thought it was an interesting story.

        Yeah, I just glazed over that part, there are so many “health” products that are complete bunk on Amazon.

      This 2007 document seems to do a pretty good job at going over the motivations when the law was made. It’s a bit longer to read than I have time for right now, but it seems like it’s worth the time judging by the intro and background
